Maryland inmate: 'This is my jail'

A Maryland inmate Tavo White reportedly made $16,000 a month from smuggling drugs and cellphones into prison with help from accomplices, according to Metro.uk.
An FBI wire tap captured White saying, ‘This is my jail. You understand that,’ and claiming to control everything from contraband to mob hits within the prison.
White showered the female guards with gifts including cars and diamond rings. Four of those guards – Jennifer Owens, Katera Stevenson, Chania Brooks and Tiffany Linder – allegedly fell pregnant to White while he was behind bars
Owens had ‘Tavon’ tattooed on her neck and Stevenson had ‘Tavon’ tattooed on her wrist.
The details came to light after authorities busted a major smuggling ring inside the prison – and 13 female prison guards, seven inmates and five co-conspirators face racketeering charges.
Guards allegedly smuggled drugs and mobile phones into prison in their shoes for the ‘Black Guerrilla Family’, a gang which also operates on the streets of Baltimore.
All 12 officers have been suspended without pay, and the department is moving to fire them.
